Choose Lyric for your voice

Mannered, funky, decorative, and stately: our typeface Lyric sings in a surprisingly wide range. You may have seen this one before—it has already been used beautifully for several restaurants, book designs, and packaging systems. Jesse started Lyric early in his career, and he has finally picked it up again with an eye toward finishing it. Now it’s publicly available, while still in progress.

Cedar keeps growing

Thanks to type design help from our long-time collaborator Vanna Vu, Cedar’s progress has also become un-stuck a big update coming very soon. License the v0.2 Romans now before the price goes up, and you’ll receive v0.3 with Italics and variable fonts automatically when we add them.

We’re developing a selection of in-person workshops to offer creative teams, drawing on our collected experience teaching and making type. Is there something that you would love to learn from us? We’d love to get your input—reply to this email and let us know what you think we should cover!
